THEOPHILUS SMITH, OF GALWAY, NEWYORK.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 4,078, dated June 10, 1845.

To all whom 25 may concern Be it known that I, THEorHILUs SMITH, of thetown of Galway, in the county of Saratoga and Stateof New York, haveinvented a new andvuseful Improvement 1n Cooking-Stoves, which isdescribed as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of thesame, making part of this specification.

Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section through the center of thestove. Y

The fire box A, ovens B and C, and damper D, are made and arranged inthe usual manner.

The improvement consists in the arrangement of the flues F, F1, F2, F3,F4, F5, F6, and F7 for the circulation of the heat around the ovens.These lines are combined and arranged as follows.

The external plates l? are combined and arranged in the usual manner,forming a rectangular box, the top plate being perforated with the usualdescription of apertures for the insertion of the various kinds ofculinary Vessels, smoke pipe, Src. front plate is perforated with theusual kind of rectangular openings for the doors. The interior of thisbox is divided by horizontal and vertical plates into a large oven C,which occupies the lower portion o-f the box, and extends from side toside, and from near one end to the other, having sufficient spaces toform the two vertical fines, F2 and F4 and the ends-the bottom platebeing raised above the lower plate of the box, suHiciently high to formthe lower horizontal iiue F 3 passing under the oven-said oven beingprovided with theusual description i of doors. The space above thislarge oven is divided again into two smaller spaces, A, B, by a verticalplate E, which extends entirely across the stove and reaches from thetop of the large oven, to the top plate of the stove, being perforatedwith an oblong opening to admit a direct draft to the smoke pipe, whennecessary, which opening is closed by a damper D, when the draft isrequired to pass around the ovens. In one of these spaces is formed thelire chamber A--which 1s of the usual form and construe* 'tion-by meansof a horizontal plate placed a few inches above the top of the oven andturned at right angles at its rear end and extended upward to form theHue F, be-

tween it and the division plate E, andV is occupied by a small oven B,extending i from side to side of the stove and provided with the usualdescription of doors and eX- tended from the back plate of the stove towithin a few inchesof the aforesaid vertical division plate E, by whicharrangement the Hue FG, is for1ned,-the flues F5 and F7 being formed byarranging the top and bottoni plates of said small oven a few inchesfrom the top plates of the stove and large oven. The other portions ofthe stove are made in the usual manner.

The draft (when the damper D is closed) will pass in the direction ofthe arrows l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to the usual smoke pipe at the topand rear of the stove.

The object of causing the draft to pass first around the front of thelarge oven, is to heat that part more edectually, than has heretoforebeen done, in stoves of a diferent construction, and also to prevent thesmall o-ven becoming too much heated, by passing it around the largeoven, as in some stoves.

What I claim as my invention and which I desire to secure by LettersPatent is The combination ofthe arrangement of the fines, with thedivision plate as set forth.
